An eye-to-eye encounter with mountain gorillas in their misty rainforest home
Rwanda offers the world's most intimate wildlife encounter — spending one precious hour with a mountain gorilla family in their natural habitat. With fewer than 1,000 mountain gorillas remaining on Earth, every permit funds their conservation. This luxury Rwanda experience also includes chimpanzee trekking, a Golden Monkey experience, and the beautiful Lake Kivu.
When a 200kg silverback gorilla locks eyes with you, or a baby gorilla curiously approaches your hand, it's a moment that changes how you see our place in the natural world.
Every gorilla permit directly funds mountain gorilla conservation. Rwanda's gorilla population has grown from 620 to 1,000 in 30 years — proof that conservation tourism works.
Rwanda's transformation from 1994 genocide to Africa's cleanest, safest, most innovative nation is one of history's most remarkable stories. Kigali is a city of genuine hope.
